A

It drains into Fuel Oil Return Header and back to Fuel Oil Day Tank

79
Q

What is the small amount of fuel oil that travels through Fuel Injection pumps to Fuel Oil Drain Headers ?

A

It’s cools the Fuel Injection pumps

80
Q

What is flow path from fuel oil day tank to diesel engine ? (Diesel engine running)

A

1.)Gravity feed from Day tank
2.)Through 1of2 suction strainers
3.)Engine driven booster pumps
4.)Discharge of booster pump goes to one side of duplex filters
5.)Then goes to Fuel Oil Supply Header & fuel oil tank on the engine
